(mbc.net) Jason (Michael Angarano) is a teenager
obsessed with Chinese culture. He
regularly visits a shop owned by Old Hop (Jackie Chan) to purchase his favorite
DVDs. One day Jason notices a golden
staff in the store that piques his interest.
The shopkeeper explains that a man gave it to his grandfather years ago
for safekeeping, but never reclaimed it.

Outside, Jason is surrounded by thugs
and returns to the shop for safety. The
attackers follow, and murder its owner, who passes the golden staff to Jason
just before dying.

The Forbidden Kingdom earned $127
million internationally, double its budget.
